Caught on tape: Baby Ricky's new line is "...and action!" but when he's standing up he says it with so much enthusiasm that his whole body shakes hahahahaha, he also makes sure he is on his tippy-toes when he screams it. I am hoping to get him on video when he does the 'standing version' one of these days.
Baby Ricky's favorite green smoothie. Try it with your kids and let us know if they enjoyed it as well
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1 cup frozen mango
1 big handful spinach leaves
1/2 to 1 cup of water (I like mine a little on the thick side)
Put all ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth.
Rick Lakota's Famous Lasagna
I told you there is usually two kinds of food cooking in my kitchen, well, today was no different. While Rick made some mouth-watering lasagna, I decided to create my own new recipe. And NO, I don't feel restricted because I didn't eat the lasagna...people always ask me that and the truth is, when I decide it is a vegan or raw-vegan day/ week (s) for me, I stick to it. When I do purely raw-vegan, I really don't miss cooked food, amazing how the body can adapt!
Mango-Pesto 'Pasta'
Ingredients
1/2 cup pine nuts
3 cups basil leaves (I used 1 bunch)
2cm ginger root
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup + 2Tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt or salt to taste
1 Tbsp fresh parsley
1 Tbsp almond butter (optional)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 cups ripe mango chunks
3 cups of mung beans, rinsed and patted dry
Put all ingredients except the mung beans in a food processor with an 'S' blade and blend until smooth. In a separate bowl toss mung beans with about 4-5 Tbsp of mango pesto (I like mine drenched in the sauce). Save the rest of mango-pesto in tight container and place in the fridge. Garnish with some paprika and serve. YUmmy!
Verdict: I LOVE IT!
My FAVORITE Snack:
